While carving the pumpkins outside on the grass the kids thought it would be super cool to grow a bunch of pumpkins. Mom, they said very confidently, we will dig the holes and water the 'soon to be' PUMPKIN PATCH everyday. We promise. You won't have to do a thing.

Sounded like they were petitioning for a family dog.

OK, sure.

Hoping that at least one of the kids doesn't take after me.

My black thumb that is.

I mean, surely I can keep a house plant alive BUT anything beyond that forget it.

When I'm outside I want to be playing, swimming or kicking a ball with the kids.

OR

(lets be honest here)

'Watching' the kids doing ALL of those things.

NOT

Weeding, pruning, cutting or digging up......anything.

First Pumpkin Plant Sprout

Shame on me for not having any FAITH with the kids 'farming plans'


I LOVE FALL

Reason #88 is this pretty yellow tree.

No, I don't know what kind of tree it is.

BUT

It's awesome.

It's right outside my window.

It's FAITHFUL

Every October.

Just for me.

That's what kinda tree it is.

Oh, did I mention.....

It's my neighbors tree?

They have green thumbs for sure.

Spending hours on end, every weekend, working on the yard.

Weeding, pruning,cutting and digging.

I laid down on the other side of the street to snap some pictures.

A million thoughts went through my head.

Wow, their grass is so much softer than ours.

Oh geez, I hope they don't come home right now.

Wish I could bottle this Autumn breeze.

So glad GOD made us all different.

With different gifts to share.

Thank you GOD for the interesting change of seasons.

IN NATURE

AND

IN MY HEART.
